Famous quotes containing the words high, school, college and/or career:

    “And hearts that once beat high for praise
    Now feel that pulse no more!”
    —Thomas Moore (1779–1852)

    “There is nothing intrinsically better about a child who happily bounces off to school the first day and a child who is wary, watchful, and takes a longer time to separate from his parents and join the group. Neither one nor the other is smarter, better adjusted, or destined for a better life.”
    —Ellen Galinsky (20th century)

    “Love begins like a triolet and ends like a college yell.”
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    “Whether lawyer, politician or executive, the American who knows what’s good for his career seeks an institutional rather than an individual identity. He becomes the man from NBC or IBM. The institutional imprint furnishes him with pension, meaning, proofs of existence. A man without a company name is a man without a country.”
    —Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
